Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 28, 2011, the Company secured an $8.0 million senior secured credit facility from an unrelated lender to acquire residual portfolios. Under the terms of the credit facility, the Company must borrow at least $2 million within the first 90 days and can borrow the remainder in up to three additional draws within 12 months of the initial draw. When drawn, the promissory notes carry an interest rate of 16%. Interest only is paid monthly in arrears and all principal is due within 24 months of closing, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. The credit facility includes up to a 4% prepayment penalty if amounts borrowed are repaid within the first 12 months, and is secured by a first lien on all current and after acquired assets of the Company. The Company paid to the lender origination and commitment fees totaling $280,000, and issued the lender a warrant to acquire up to 804,467 shares of the Companys Common Stock at $1.00 per share exercisable on a cashless basis. The warrants expire in five years and shares issued upon exercise of the warrants have piggy back registration rights. The credit facility also contains representations, warranties, conditions, confidentiality terms, indemnification provisions and covenants that are typical for this type of credit facility, including that the Company maintain minimum cash balances and EBITDA amounts and generate minimum revenue, each measured monthly. In addition, before the Company can make the initial draw on the facility, an outstanding prior commitment of $1.0 million in subordinated debt issued under the Companys $3 Million Subordinated Debt Offering must be collected.
The foregoing descriptions of the credit facility, the form of senior secured note, the warrant, and the registration rights agreement are each qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts thereof which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2,
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
See the discussion under Item 1.01 above below with respect to the Companys senior secured credit facility, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
See the discussion under Item 1.01 above below with respect to the Companys issuance of common stock purchase warrants, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Companys issuance of the warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to exemptions from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D and Sections 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, insofar as such securities were issued only to an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D. The recipient of these securities took such securities for investment purposes without a view to distribution. Furthermore, the recipient had access to information concerning the Company and its business prospects; there was no general solicitation or advertising for the purchase of the securities; and the securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144.

2. Registration .
(a) Piggy-Back Registrations .
(i) If at any time (but without any obligation to do so) when there is not already an effective registration statement covering the Registrable Securities, the Company shall decide to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account of any of its equity securities or the account of other holders of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or their then equivalents relating to equity
securities to be issued solely in connection with the acquisition of an entity or business, or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans or a registration in which the only stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered, or any registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such decision. If, within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, a Holder does not request in writing to the Company that some or all of such Holders Registrable Securities be removed from such registration statement, then the Company shall thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities which are held by each Holder to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold in such registration, subject to the Companys right to exclude a Holder as set forth below; provided, however, that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each selling Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay expenses in accordance with Section 5 hereof) and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to this Section 2(a) for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(a) if (i) such Registrable Securities are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 and (ii) upon presentation of the appropriate legal opinion and other documentation typically required for the sale of restricted securities under Rule 144, the Company acts promptly in allowing (or causing its stock transfer agent to allow) the sale of such Registrable Securities.
(ii) In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of the Registrable Securities in such registration statement, then if the Company, after consultation with the managing underwriter(s), should reasonably determine that the inclusion of the Registrable Securities would materially adversely affect the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and based on such determination recommends inclusion in such registration statement of fewer or none of the Registrable Securities of a Holder, then (A) if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of fewer Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration), or (B) if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of the Registrable Securities, none of the Registrable Securities of any Holder shall be included in such registration statement; provided, however, that if securities are being offered for the account of other Persons as well as the Company, any reduction in the offering of Registrable Securities shall not constitute a greater fraction than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other Persons (other than the Company).
(b) Market Stand-Off Agreement . Each Holder hereby agrees that, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Registrable Securities of the Company, such Holder shall not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Registrable Securities of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included for sale in the registration or acquired in the Companys first firm commitment underwritten public offering of its Common Stock registered and declared effective under the Securities Act or in the open market thereafter) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of equity securities of the Company not to exceed 180 days (or such longer period as the underwriters or the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with NASD Rule 2711 or NYSE Member Rule 472 or any successor or similar rule or regulation) following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act; provided that the same lock-up is agreed to by all directors and officers of the Company and shareholders individually owning more than 1% of the Companys outstanding Common Stock. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of such agreements by the Company or representatives of the underwriters shall apply to the Holders, pro rata, based on their percentage equity ownership in the Company.
(c) Right to Terminate Registration . The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2 prior to or following the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not any Holder has Registrable Securities included in such registration.
3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company effects the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall:
(a) Initial Filing . Not less than five Business Days prior to the filing of the registration statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated therein by reference), (i) furnish to each selling Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of each such selling Holder and (ii) at the request of a selling Holder, and subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, cause the Companys officers, directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such selling Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(b) Related Matters . Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities to be sold and any counsel therefor as promptly as possible (and, in the case of clause (i)(A) below, not less than five Business Days prior to such filing) (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a registration statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a review of such registration statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such registration statement and (C) with respect to a registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has
become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a registration statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose and (v) of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a registration statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such registration statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(c) Incorporation of Certain Matters . If requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a registration statement such information as the Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated therein.
(d) Copies . To the extent requested by any Holder, provide to each Holder and any counsel therefor, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each registration statement and each amendment thereto (including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits), such documents to be provided promptly after their filing with the Commission.
(e) Delivery . Promptly deliver to each Holder and any counsel therefor, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses and each amendment or supplement thereto as they may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use of each such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(f) Blue Sky Matters . (A) Prior to any public offering of the Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and any counsel therefor in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities laws (the Blue Sky laws ) of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing and (B) perform or do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of those Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
(g) Preparation of Certificates . Cooperate with each Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a registration statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends, and cause such certificates to be in such denominations and registered in such names as each Holder may request at least two Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.
(h) Misrepresentation . Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(b)(v), as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the registration statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither such registration statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(i) Listing and Quotation . Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities offered by a registration statement to be quoted on any securities exchange, quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted.
(j) Rule 158 . Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end of any twelve-month period (or 90 days after the end of any twelve-month period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of the registration statement.
4. Additional Matters .
(a) Holder Information . In connection with a registration statement, each selling Holder shall be required to furnish to the Company information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as is required by law to be disclosed in the registration statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time prior to the filing of such registration statement or any supplemented Prospectus and/or amended registration statement.
(b) Reference to Holder . If a registration statement refers to any Holder by name as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the registration statement that is filed subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required by the Securities Act.
(c) Holder Covenants . Each Holder covenants and agrees that (i) it will not sell any Registrable Securities under a registration statement until it has received copies of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented as contemplated in Section 3(g) and notice from the Company that such registration statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective as contemplated by Section 3(c) and (ii) it and its officers, directors and Affiliates, if any, will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to them in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
(d) Discontinuance . Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) or suspension of the use of the registration statement pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the registration statement until such Holders receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended registration statement contemplated by Section 3(h), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or registration statement.
5. Registration Expenses All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company upon receipt of a detailed invoice, whether or not a registration statement is filed or becomes effective and whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement; provided, however, that all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the Registrable Securities shall be borne by the Holders selling such Registrable Securities, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sold by each such Holder. Such fees and expenses shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made by or with each securities exchange, quotation system or other market on which Registrable Securities are required hereby to be listed or quoted, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with the Commission and (C) in compliance with applicable Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for each Holder in connection with Blue Sky law qualifications of the Registrable Securities and any determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities may designate)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities and of printing Prospectuses, if the printing of Prospectuses is requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and disbursements, not to exceed $10,000, of a single counsel for the Holders, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Companys independent public accountants (including any

In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing or quoting of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange, quotation system or other market on which Registrable Securities are required to be listed or quoted. If the Holders are required to pay any registration expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities (including Registrable Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to the number of shares for which registration was requested.
6. Indemnification .
(a) Indemnification by the Company . To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each officer, director, manager, owner, agent and employee of each Holder, each Person who controls any Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each officer, director, manager, owner, agent and employee of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable costs (including, without limitation, costs of investigation, preparation and reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred) and expenses (collectively, Losses ), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement or any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder which was furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, (ii) such information relates to such Holder or such Holders proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder for use in the registration statement or such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective prospectus (without any Company provided supplement correcting such outdated or defective prospectus) after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that such prospectus is suspended from use, outdated or defective. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by a Holder.
(b) Indemnification by Holders . To the extent permitted by law, each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Companys directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement, any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statement or omission is contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such registration statement or such Prospectus or an amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) such information relates to such Holder or such Holders proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in such registration statement or such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective prospectus (without any Company provided supplement correcting such outdated or defective prospectus) after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that such prospectus is suspended from use, outdated or defective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Holder shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount which does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an Indemnified Party ), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the Indemnifying Party ) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding following receipt of notice and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel
with respect to such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within 30 Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require the Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
(d) Contribution . If a claim for indemnification under Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying, Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c), any reasonable attorneys or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding to the extent there would have been indemnification for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided in this Section was available in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Holder shall be liable or required to contribute under this Section 6(d) for only such amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning provided in the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that an Indemnifying Party may have to an Indemnified Party.
7. Rule 144 . For so long as any Holder owns any Warrant Shares, the Company agrees to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable extension period) all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In addition, as long as any Holder owns any Warrant Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to each Holder and make publicly available in a timely fashion the information specified in Rule 144. The Company further agrees that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request to the extent required from time-to-time to enable each Holder to sell Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the foregoing requirements.
8. Miscellaneous .
(a) Remedies . In the event of a breach by the Company or any Holder of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each non-breaching party, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law or under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. The Company and the Lender also acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
(b) No Inconsistent Agreements . Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates has, as of the date hereof, entered into and currently in effect, nor shall the Company or any of its Affiliates on or after the date of this Agreement enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to each Holder in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof, except for registration rights provisions disclosed in a Schedule to the Note Purchase Agreement. Except for registration rights provisions disclosed in a Schedule to the Note Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates has previously entered into any agreement currently in effect granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Lender and the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of each Holder and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Section 8(b) shall not prohibit the Company from entering into any agreements concerning the registration of securities on Form S-8 or Form S-4.
(c) Amendments and Waivers . The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, shall not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof shall not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the applicable Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates generally to the rights of the Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, waived, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.
(d) Notices . Any and all communications required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement. The addresses for such communications shall be as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement or such other address or addresses as a party may most recently have designated in writing to the other party hereto.

(f) Assignment of Registration Rights . The rights of each Holder hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Holder to any transferee of such Holder of all or a portion of the Warrant and/or the Registrable Securities if: (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee to assign such rights and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company, (ii) the Company is furnished with written notice of (A) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (B) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Note Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws. The rights to assignment shall apply to each Holder and to their subsequent successors and assigns.
(g) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) such document with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
(h) Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. The parties hereto agree that a final, non-appealable judgment in any suit or proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner.
(i) Cumulative Remedies . No provision of this Agreement providing for any specific remedy to a party shall be construed to limit such party to the specific remedy described, and that any other remedy that would otherwise be available to such party at law or in equity shall also be available. The parties also intend that the rights and remedies hereunder be cumulative, so that exercise of any one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the later or concurrent exercise of any other rights or remedies.
(j) Severability . If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

If any date specified herein falls upon a Saturday, Sunday or public or legal holidays, the date shall be construed to mean the next Business Day following such Saturday, Sunday or public or legal holiday. Each party intends that this Agreement be deemed and construed to have been jointly prepared by the parties.

For the purposes of this Section, attorneys fees shall include, without limitation, reasonable fees incurred with respect to the following: (i) post-judgment motions, (ii) contempt proceedings, (iii) garnishment, levy and debtor and third party debtor and third party examinations, (iv) discovery and (v) bankruptcy litigation.

(ll) Substitution of Escrow Agent . Upon reasonable request of the Lender, the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly cause a new escrow agent to be substituted for the existing escrow agent under the Escrow Agreement dated January 25, 2011, by and between the Company, Cooper and Schifrin, LLC and American Escrow Company.
(mm) Changes to Fundraising and Operating Accounts . By such means as is reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Lender and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, on or before the occurrence of the Initial Funding, the Company shall (i) replace the Company with the Lender as the Fundraising Account administrator, (ii) cause the Lender to have sole control over the movement of funds out of the Fundraising Account and (iii) allow the Lender to have online access to all transactional history in the Operating Account. Such replacement, control and access shall continue until the Notes have been paid in full.
(nn) Default Prior to the Initial Funding Date . In the event that there is an existing or anticipated default by the Company under any of the Closing Documents on or prior to the Initial Funding Date, the Lender agrees that its sole remedy for such default shall be to withhold the Initial Funding until such time as the default has been cured (it being understood by the Company that the period of such withholding shall not extend the 90-day period specified in Section 1(b) above).
5. Transfer and Warrant-Related Matters .
(a) Transfer of the Securities . If the Lender (i) provides the Company with an opinion by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be transferred may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, (ii) transfers (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) any of the Securities to an Affiliate which is
20
an accredited investor or (iii) transfers any of the Securities in compliance with Rule 144, then, in each instance, the Company shall permit such transfer and, if applicable, promptly (and in all events within five business days) issue, or instruct any transfer agent to issue, one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Lender.
(b) Removal of Legend . The Legend shall be removed from any certificate for a Security, and a certificate for a Security shall be originally issued without the Legend, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) the sale of such Security is registered under the 1933 Act, (ii) the holder of such Security provides the Company with an opinion by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be transferred may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act or (iii) such holder provides the Company with assurances reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. The Lender agrees that its sale of the Securities, including those represented by a certificate from which the Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend, shall be made only pursuant to an effective registration statement (with delivery of a prospectus in connection with such sale) or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. In the event the Legend is removed from the certificate for a Security, or any certificate for a Security is issued without the Legend, and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the sale of such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to the holder of such Security, the Company shall be entitled to require that the Legend be placed upon such Security, which Legend shall be removed when such Security may again be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion with respect thereto described in clause (ii) above.
(c) Exercise of the Warrant . Promptly after receiving notice of exercise of the Warrant pursuant to the terms thereof, and in any event no more than five business days after the Companys receipt of such notice of exercise and payment of the full purchase price of the Warrant Shares (as set forth therein), the Company shall issue, or shall instruct its transfer agent to issue, certificates registered in the name of the Lender or its permitted nominee for the Warrant Shares in such amounts as are specified in such notice. All such certificates shall bear the Legend unless otherwise provided by this Agreement or any documents referenced herein. The Company represents and warrants that (i) no instructions will be given by it to its transfer agent other than (A) the instructions referred to in this Section 5 and (B) any stop transfer instructions required to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof in the case of the Warrant Shares prior to their registration under the 1933 Act and (ii) the Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall be freely transferable subject to transfer restrictions imposed under applicable law and by the terms of this Agreement, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Lenders obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Warrant Shares. The Company will deliver the certificate(s) representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (along with a replacement Warrant representing the balance of the original Warrant not so exercised, if applicable) to the Lender or its designee via overnight courier within five business days after the applicable exercise date (with respect to each exercise, the Deadline ). Time is of the essence with respect to the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence.
21
(d) Injunctive Relief for Breach . The Company acknowledges that a breach of its obligations under Sections 5(a), 5(b) and/or 5(c) above will cause irreparable harm to the Lender by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company agrees that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under such Sections would be inadequate and agrees that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company, the Lender shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity, to an injunction restraining any breach and/or requiring immediate appropriate action by the Company, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
(e) Liquidated Damages for Non-Delivery of Certificates . In addition to the provisions of Section 5(d) above, the Company understands and agrees that any delay in the delivery of a certificate beyond the Deadline will result in substantial economic loss and other damages to the Lender. As partial compensation for such loss, the Company agrees to pay liquidated damages (which the Company acknowledges are not a penalty) to the Lender for delivery of the certificate(s) after the Deadline, in accordance with the following schedule (where No. of Business Days Late is the number of business days beyond 15 business days from the date of delivery by the Lender to the Company of a facsimile notice of exercise or, if later, from the date on which all other necessary documentation duly executed and in proper form required for the exercise of the Warrant has been delivered to the Company, but only if such necessary documentation has not been delivered to the Company within the 15 business day period after the facsimile delivery to the Company of the notice of exercise):

Subject to the Lenders right, in its sole discretion, to add accrued liquidated damages on to the principal amount of one of the Notes (as provided in the Notes), the Company shall pay the Lender any liquidated damages incurred under this Section 5(e) in immediately available funds upon the earlier of (i) the delivery to the Lender of the certificate(s) with respect to which the damages accrued or (ii) each monthly anniversary of the receipt by the Company of the Lenders notice of exercise. Nothing herein shall limit the Lenders right to pursue actual damages for the Companys failure to deliver certificates to the Lender by the Deadline.

16% SENIOR SECURED TERM NOTE
This 16% Senior Secured Term Note (the Note ) is issued by Calpian, Inc., a Texas corporation (the Company ), pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement (the Agreement ) entered into concurrently herewith by and between the Company and HD Special-Situations II, LP. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
1. Payment Obligation .
(a) For value received, the Company promises to pay to HD Special-Situations II, LP or its permitted successors and assigns (collectively, the Holder ), (i) the principal amount of [ ] Dollars ($ [ ]) (to which may be added any liquidated damages that accrue pursuant to the terms of the Agreement) and (ii) interest on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of sixteen percent (16%) per annum (the Rate ), payable as described below. The principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable on [ ], 2013 (the Maturity Date ); provided, however, that:
(i) Upon the Companys written request, the Maturity Date shall be extended one time by twelve months with no additional commitment or origination fees, but only if no Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing at the original Maturity Date.
(ii) In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default, including any Event of Default based on a failure of the Company at any time to meet the Collateral Coverage Ratio required by the Agreement, seventy-five percent (75%) of the Companys and any subsidiaries monthly Free Cash Flow (as defined below) shall be used to repay the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any other Notes issued pursuant to the Agreement until (A) the
Company has cured the Event of Default or it has been waived or (B) all amounts owed with respect to this Note and any other Notes issued pursuant to the Agreement have been paid in full. Such payment shall be made on a monthly basis and allocated among multiple Notes prorata according to the principal amount of each Note. For purposes of the foregoing, Free Cash Flow shall mean the Companys and any subsidiaries EBITDA (in accordance with GAAP) during the applicable (i.e. preceding) month, minus interest, capital expenditures not to exceed $25,000 per year and cash taxes paid for that month. During such time as payments are owed by the Company under this clause, the Company shall calculate such Free Cash Flow on a monthly basis and shall pay the amounts owed under this clause within 20 days after the end of the month for which the calculation is made. Such remedy shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Holder under the Transaction Documents, as well as any other rights or remedies afforded by law or equity.
(b) Interest on this Note in the amount of [ ] Dollars ($ [ ]), representing pro-rated interest for the period from the Date of Issuance indicated above through [ ], shall be pre-paid by the Company upon execution hereof (which pre-payment shall be non-refundable). Thereafter, monthly interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note in the amount of [ ] Dollars ($ [ ]) shall be paid in arrears on the first day of each month during the period that this Note remains outstanding after [ ], 2011. Accrual of interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note shall commence on the Date of Issuance and shall continue until full payment of the outstanding principal amount has been made or duly provided for, with the monthly interest payment specified above to be pro-rated for any partial period and any reductions in principal amount.
(c) The Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the Holder. If any prepayment is made within one year of the Effective Date, such prepayment shall be accompanied by a payment equal to Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000) for each month remaining from the date of prepayment to the one year anniversary of the Effective Date, with a prorated payment to be made for any partial month during such period; provided, however, that the maximum payment hereunder shall not exceed Three Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($320,000), and provided further, however, that no payments to cure an Event of Default and no payments made upon acceleration of this Note upon an Event of Default shall trigger any prepayment penalty as provided in this Note. In the event that there is more than one Note outstanding at the time of any prepayment, the amount payable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be allocated among all of the Notes prorata according to the principal amount of each Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued by the Company under the Agreement equals $8.0 million any time during the first seven months after the Effective Date, (ii) during such seven month period the Company requests in writing that HD Special-Situations II, LP increase the amount to be loaned under the Agreement and HD Special-Situations II, LP does not provide such an increase (either by itself or in combination with other lenders) within 45 days after its receipt of such written request and (iii) during such seven month period the Company prepays the entire amount owed on this Note and all other outstanding Notes, then, in such case, the prepayment shall be accompanied by a payment equal to the interest that would have been payable on all outstanding Notes if they had an original aggregate
principal amount of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) during the period from the date of prepayment to the seven month anniversary of the Effective Date. For avoidance of doubt, there shall be no prepayment penalties due or owing by the Company hereunder with respect to any prepayments made one year after the Effective Date.
2. Provisions as to Payment .
(a) Payments on this Note are payable to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more successor Notes) is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfer of this Note (the Note Register ); provided, however, that the Companys obligation to a transferee of this Note arises only if such transfer, sale or other disposition is made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
(b) Payments on this Note are payable in immediately available funds in currency of the United States of America at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time-to-time. The Company shall pay the outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest due upon this Note on the Maturity Date (subject to any permitted extension), less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note appearing of record as of the fifth business day (as defined in the Agreement) prior to the Maturity Date (subject to any permitted extension) and addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the Note Register. The forwarding of such funds shall constitute full payment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal and interest on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such payment plus any amounts so deducted or withheld. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments on this Note shall be credited first to reimburse the Holder for any cost or expense reimbursable hereunder, then to the payment of accrued interest, and third to the payment of principal. If any payment on this Note is due on a day that is not a business day (as defined in the Agreement), the payment shall instead be due on the next day that is a business day.

(b) The Holder understands and acknowledges by its acceptance hereof that (i) this Note has not been, and is not being, registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred except as provided in the
Agreement and (ii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register this Note under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

(c) if the Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material respect, any covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company under any of the Transaction Documents not covered by clause (a) or (b) above and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of 30 days after written notice from the Holder;

(g) any money judgment, writ or note of attachment, or similar process in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate (and not covered by insurance) shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 15 days, or in any event later than five days prior to the date of any proposed sale of assets pursuant thereto;
(h) bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be dismissed within 60 days after such institution, or the Company shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in, any such proceeding;
(i) the occurrence of any event of default or other event triggering acceleration of, or a right to accelerate, any indebtedness by the Company or any of the Companys subsidiaries under any note, agreement or other instrument, whether such indebtedness now exists or is hereafter created, if the principal amount of such indebtedness equals or exceeds, individually or in the aggregate, $50,000;
(j) the Holder shall reasonably believe that there has been a material adverse change in the operations, properties, management or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or that any litigation, governmental proceeding or investigation has been commenced against the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any officer, director or key employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which has a reasonable probability of materially adversely affecting the Companys business, operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations or ability to repay this Note;

(l) an Event of Default shall have occurred under any other Note; or
(m) the occurrence of an event of default under any Existing Residual Contract, ISO Agreement, Existing Residuals Security Document, Future Residual Contract or Future Residuals Security Document that would have a Material Adverse Effect and the same shall remain uncured after the expiration of any cure period applicable thereto;
then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver in one instance shall not be deemed to be a waiver in another instance or for any other prior or subsequent Event of Default), at the option of the Holder and in the Holders sole discretion, the Holder may immediately accelerate the maturity hereof, whereupon all principal and accrued interest hereunder shall be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company (anything herein or in any other instrument to the contrary notwithstanding), and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holders rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law or equity. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Rate shall automatically increase to twenty percent (20%).
8. Security . Pursuant to the Companys Security Agreement, repayment of this Note and all other Notes issued pursuant to the Agreement are secured by a security interest in the Companys assets as specified in that Security Agreement. An Event of Default under the terms of this Note shall also constitute an event of default under that Security Agreement and any other agreements now or hereafter entered into by the Company to secure its payment of this Note.
9. Enforceability; Maximum Interest Rate .
(a) In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Company shall not be obligated to pay, and the Holder shall not be entitled to charge, collect, receive, reserve or take interest (interest being defined, for purposes of this paragraph, as the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under applicable law that are contracted for, charged, reserved, received or paid under this Note) in excess of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law (the Maximum Lawful Rate ). During any period of time in which the Rate exceeds such Maximum Lawful Rate, interest shall accrue and be payable only at such Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to pay interest to the account of the Holder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Holder is equal to the total interest which the Holder would have received had the Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable for the account of
the Holder shall be the Rate unless and until the Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by the Holder exceed the amount which the Holder could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the term during which the Holder actually received interest from the Company at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Holder has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance hereof or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder to the Holder, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be repaid by the Holder to the Company. For purposes of this Note, the term applicable law shall mean that law in effect from time-to-time and applicable to the transaction between the Company and the Holder which lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible rate of interest on such transaction and this Note, including the laws of the State of California and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.
10. Entire Agreement . This Note, together with the Agreement and the other existing Transaction Documents and any exhibits or schedules attached thereto, and any addenda to any of the foregoing, constitute the full and entire understanding between the Company and the Holder with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, written or oral, with respect to such subject matter. No provision of this Note shall be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.
11. Governing Law . This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving effect to applicable principles of conflict of law.
12. Headings . The headings in this Note are for convenience only, and shall not be used in the construction of this Note.
13. Successors . Subject to the transfer restrictions contained in the Agreement, a Holder may assign and/or participate any of its interest in this Note to any individual or entity. Each reference herein to powers or rights of a Holder shall also be deemed a reference to the same power or right of such assignees, to the extent of the interest assigned to them. All the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Note shall bind the Company and the Holder and their respective administrators, distributees, successors and assigns, including any individual or entity to whom a Holder has granted a participation interest in this Note.
14. No Strict Construction . The Company and HD Special-Situations II, LP intend that this Note be deemed and construed to have been jointly prepared by them. As a result, any uncertainty or ambiguity existing herein shall not be interpreted against either of them.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be duly executed by its authorized persons on the Date of Issuance.

California time on the Expiration Date (as defined herein), Eight Hundred Four Thousand Four Hundred Sixty-seven (804,467) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined herein) of the Company (each a Warrant Share and collectively the Warrant Shares ) at a purchase price (the Warrant Exercise Price ) equal to $1.00 per share. The Warrant Exercise Price shall be paid in lawful money of the United States. Both the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder and the Warrant Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 below.
Section 1. Definitions .
(a) The following terms used in this Warrant shall have the following meanings:
Common Stock means (i) the Companys $0.001 par value common stock and (ii) any capital stock into which such common stock shall have been changed or any capital stock resulting from a reclassification of such common stock.
Expiration Date means the date which is five years from the Date of Issuance or, if such date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks are required or authorized to be closed in the State of California (a Holiday ), the next preceding date that is not a Holiday.
1
Market Price means the average of the closing stock prices for the Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the date on which a Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, as reported on the trading market on which the Common Stock may then be quoted, if any such trading market may exist.
Note Purchase Agreement shall mean the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of the Date of Issuance, by and between the Company and HD Special-Situations II, LP.
Securities Act means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(b) Other definitional provisions:
(i) Except as otherwise specified herein, all references herein (A) to the Company shall be deemed to include the Companys successors and (B) to any applicable law shall be deemed references to such applicable law as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time.
(ii) When used in this Warrant, unless otherwise specified in a particular instance, the words herein, hereof, and hereunder, and words of similar import, shall refer to this Warrant as a whole and not to any specific provision of this Warrant, and the word Section shall refer to Sections of this Warrant unless otherwise specified.
(iii) Whenever the context so requires, the neuter gender includes the masculine or feminine, and the singular number includes the plural, and vice versa.
(iv) When used in this Warrant, transfer shall include any disposition of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares, or of any interest in either thereof, which would constitute a sale thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.
Section 2. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by Holder, as a whole or in part (except that this Warrant shall not be exercisable as to a fractional share), at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. California time on the Expiration Date. The rights represented by this Warrant shall be exercised by Holder by (i) delivery of a written notice in the form attached hereto (a Notice of Exercise ) of Holders election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised, plus any applicable issuance or transfer taxes, in immediately available funds (either by wire transfer or a certified or cashiers check drawn on a United States bank) and (iii) the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company (or at such other agency or office of the Company as the Company may designate by notice to Holder).
(b) In addition, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Expiration Date, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, at such time as the Market Price per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Warrant Exercise Price, this Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company in a cashless exercise,
2
including a written calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms hereof (a Cashless Exercise ). In the event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the Warrant Exercise Price, Holder shall surrender this Warrant for, and the Company shall issue in respect thereof, the number of Warrant Shares determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to which Holder would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be determined by subtracting the Warrant Exercise Price from the then current Market Price per share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the then current Market Price per share of Common Stock.
(c) Any Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued to Holder, as the record owner of such Warrant Shares, as of the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered, the completed Notice of Exercise shall have been delivered, and payment (or notice of an election to effect a Cashless Exercise) shall have been made for such Warrant Shares as set forth above, irrespective of the date of delivery of such share certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are properly closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Warrant Shares at the opening of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. For each exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with this Section 2, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, registered in the name of, or as directed by, Holder, shall be delivered to, or as directed by, Holder within five business days after such rights shall have been so exercised.
(d) Unless this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, upon an exercise of this Warrant the Company shall issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant except that it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised (or, in the case of a Cashless Exercise, the number of shares to which Holder would otherwise have been entitled).
(e) In the case of any dispute with respect to an exercise, the Company shall promptly issue such number of Warrant Shares as are not disputed in accordance with this Section. If such dispute only involves the number of Warrant Shares receivable by Holder under a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall submit the disputed calculations to an independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Holder within 15 business days of receipt of the Notice of Exercise. The accountant shall review the calculations and notify the Company and Holder of the results no later than 15 business days from the date it receives the disputed calculations (or such longer period as such accountant may reasonably require). The accountants calculation shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section.
Section 3. Covenants as to Common Stock . The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant
3
may be exercised, the Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and that the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price.
Section 4. Taxes . The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares or any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of Holder or any permitted transferee of this Warrant.
Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder . No Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to Holder of the Warrant Shares which Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall provide Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the delivery thereof to the stockholders.
Section 6. No Limitation on Corporate Action . No provisions of this Warrant and no right or option granted or conferred hereunder shall in any way limit, affect or abridge the exercise by the Company of any of its corporate rights or powers to recapitalize, amend its Certificate of Formation, reorganize, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation, transfer all or any part of its property or assets, or exercise any other of its corporate rights and powers.
Section 7. Representations of Holder . By the acceptance of this Warrant, Holder represents that (i) it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for Holders own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof and (ii) it is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. Upon exercise of this Warrant, Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm the foregoing representations in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company. If Holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to Holders exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure it that the issuance of the Warrant Shares shall not violate any federal or state securities laws.
Section 8. Representations of the Company . The Company represents that it has the requisite power and authority to issue and sell this Warrant and perform it obligations under this Warrant in accordance with its terms. The Companys execution, delivery and performance of this Warrant have been duly authorized by the Companys Board of Directors and no further
4
consent or authorization of the Company, its stockholders, or any other individual or entity, is required. This Warrant (i) has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and (ii) constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally.
Section 9. Restrictions on Transfer . Holder understands that (i) this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws (other than as described in the Registration Rights Agreement entered into concurrently herewith (the Registration Rights Agreement )), and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred except as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such securities (other than as described in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.
Section 10. Adjustments .
(a) Reclassification, Reorganization and Certain Other Transactions . In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock), the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant, to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and other changes of outstanding shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations or mergers. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Companys Board of Directors acting in good faith.
(b) Dividends and Stock Splits . If and whenever the Company shall effect a stock dividend, a stock split, a stock combination, or a reverse stock split of the Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be proportionately adjusted in the manner determined by the Companys Board of Directors acting in good faith. The number of shares, as so adjusted, shall be rounded to the nearest whole number and the Warrant Exercise Price shall be rounded to the nearest cent.
Section 11. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, on receipt of an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company, issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen or destroyed. In the event Holder asserts such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, the Company may require Holder to post a bond issued by a surety reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the issuance of such new Warrant.
5
Section 12. Notices. Any and all communications required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement. The addresses for such communications shall be as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement or such other addresses as may most recently have been designated in writing.
Section 13. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged, or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of California, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. Headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. This Warrant shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its permitted successors and assigns.
Section 14. Attorneys Fees. If Holder or the Company shall bring any action for relief against the other arising out of or in connection with this Warrant, in addition to all other remedies to which the prevailing party may be entitled, the losing party shall be required to pay to the prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys fees and costs incurred in bringing or defending such action and/or enforcing any judgment granted therein, all of which shall be deemed to have accrued upon the commencement of such action and shall be paid whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. Any judgment or order entered in such action shall contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of attorneys fees and costs incurred in enforcing such judgment. For the purposes of this Section, attorneys fees shall include, without limitation, fees incurred with respect to the following: (i) post-judgment motions, (ii) contempt proceedings, (iii) garnishment, levy and debtor and third party debtor and third party examinations, (iv) discovery and (v) bankruptcy litigation.
Section 15. Effect of Expiration Date . This Warrant, in all events, shall be wholly void and of no effect after 5:00 p.m. California time on the Expiration Date, except that notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the provisions of Sections 9 and 14 shall continue in full force and effect after such date as to any Warrant Shares or other securities issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be duly executed by its duly authorized officers as of the Date of Issuance.

In order to secure Debtors timely payment of the Obligations and timely performance of each and all of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement and any other document, instrument or agreement executed by Debtor and/or delivered by Debtor to the Secured Party in connection with the Obligations, Debtor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants, pledges and hypothecates to the Secured Party a continuing first-priority security interest in and to, a lien upon, assignment of, and right of set-off against, all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral. Upon filing of a financing statement naming Debtor as debtor and the Secured Party as secured party in the filing office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas, the security interests in the Collateral (other than money, registered copyrights, deposit accounts or letter-of-credit rights) shall attach thereto without further act on the part of the Secured Party or Debtor.
3.2 Rights as to Inventory . Unless an Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, Debtor may, subject to the provisions hereof and consistent herewith, sell its inventory and enter into licenses with respect to its property, but in each case only in the ordinary course of Debtors business. A sale of inventory in Debtors ordinary course of business does not include an exchange or a transfer in partial or total satisfaction of a debt owing by Debtor, nor does it include an exchange for less than the lower of cost or fair market value. For purposes of this Section, the Residuals shall not be considered inventory.
4. Insurance .
4.1 General . Debtor shall, at its expense, keep its business and assets (including the Collateral to the extent appropriate) insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers and all other hazards and risks and in such amounts as are ordinarily insured against by other owners of similar businesses. All such policies of insurance (except those of public liability and property damage) shall contain an endorsement, in a form satisfactory to the Secured Party, showing the Secured Party as an additional insured or beneficiary thereunder (or include a lender loss contract endorsement payable in favor of the Secured Party). Each such insurer shall agree (by endorsement upon the policy or policies of insurance issued by it to Debtor or by independent instruments) that it will give the Secured Party at least ten days written notice before any such policy or policies of insurance will be cancelled, and that no act or default of Debtor, or any other person, shall affect the right of the Secured Party to recover under such policy or policies of insurance or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto. All insurers and insurance coverage shall be reasonably acceptable to the Secured Party. If Debtor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance
as required under this Agreement, the Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance as it deems appropriate, including if it so chooses single interest insurance, which will cover the Secured Partys interest in the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Party.
4.2 Insurance Reports . Debtor, upon request by the Secured Party, shall furnish to the Secured Party reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as the Secured Party may reasonably request, including the following: (i) the name of the insurer, (ii) the risks insured, (iii) the amount of the policy, (iv) the property insured, (v) the then-current value on the basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that value and (vi) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, Debtor shall upon request by the Secured Party have an independent appraiser satisfactory to the Secured Party determine, as applicable, the cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral.
5. Filings; Further Assurances .
5.1 General . The Secured Party is authorized to file a UCC-1 Financing Statement with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas evidencing its security interest in the Collateral. Debtor also authorizes the filing by the Secured Party of such other UCC financing statements, continuation financing statements, fixture filings, security agreements, deeds of trust, chattel mortgages, assignments, motor vehicle lien acknowledgments and other documents as the Secured Party may reasonably require in order to perfect, maintain, protect or enforce the Secured Partys security interests in the Collateral or any portion thereof and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, if so requested by the Secured Party at any time hereafter, Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver to the Secured Party such fixture filings, security agreements, deeds of trust, chattel mortgages, assignments, motor vehicle lien acknowledgments and other documents as the Secured Party may reasonably require from Debtor in order to perfect, maintain, protect or enforce the Secured Partys rights under this Agreement. Debtor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Secured Party as Debtors true and lawful attorney with power, upon Debtors failure or refusal to promptly comply with its obligations in this Section 5.1, to sign the name of Debtor on any of the above-described documents or on any other similar documents which need to be executed, recorded and/or filed in order to perfect, maintain, protect or enforce the Secured Partys security interests in the Collateral.
5.2 Additional Matters . Without limiting the generality of Section 5.1, Debtor will (i) at the reasonable request of the Secured Party, appear in and defend any action or proceeding which may affect Debtors title to, or the security interests of the Secured Party in, the Collateral and (ii) promptly furnish to the Secured Party, from time-to-time, such reports in connection with the Collateral as are required by the Note Purchase Agreement.
5.3 Accounts and Negotiable Collateral . In the event that any portion of the Collateral, including proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of accounts and/or Negotiable Collateral, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor shall, to the extent permitted by any document comprising Negotiable Collateral, immediately endorse (where appropriate) any such Negotiable Collateral in blank and assign such accounts over to the Secured Party and deliver actual physical possession of the Negotiable Collateral to the Secured Party in order to perfect fully its security interest therein.
5.4 Documentation for Future Residuals . Until the Notes have been paid in full, each time Debtor or any subsidiary acquires any Future Residuals, Debtor and/or such subsidiary shall deliver to the Secured Party the applicable Future Residuals Security Documents. In each instance, such Future Residuals Security Documents shall be delivered at such time as is agreed upon by Debtor and the Secured Party. In addition, within three business days after the Secured Party so requests as to any Residuals already owned by Debtor, Debtor shall deliver to the Secured Party such additional documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Secured Party in order to perfect, protect and/or enforce the Secured Partys rights with respect to such Residuals.
6. Representations, Warranties and Agreements . Debtor represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
6.1 No Other Encumbrances . Debtor has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of any kind except the Permitted Liens.
6.2 Right to Inspect Collateral . The Secured Party shall have the right, during Debtors usual business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to inspect and examine the Collateral. Debtor agrees that any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including expenses for appraisals and/or any other third party reviews) incurred by the Secured Party in connection with this Section 6.2 shall constitute Secured Party Expenses (provided that such expenses shall not exceed $30,000 in the aggregate with respect to inspections conducted while the Company is not in default hereunder; and provided further that so long as the Company is not in default hereunder, such inspections shall be limited to one per 12-month period).
6.3 Title to Vehicles and Equipment . Upon the Secured Partys request, Debtor shall immediately deliver to the Secured Party any and all evidences of ownership of or title to any vehicles or items of Debtors equipment, properly endorsed.
6.4 Maintenance of Vehicles and Equipment .

Debtor shall not (i) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of, relocate or transfer, any of the Collateral except as provided in Section 3.2 or dispositions of Collateral that is worn out or obsolete, (ii) allow any liens on the Collateral except the Permitted Liens or (iii) change Debtors name or add any new fictitious name without providing the Secured Party with 15 days prior written notice, in each case except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.
6.6 Relocation of Principal Place of Business . The principal place of business of Debtor, and the addresses at which the Collateral is located, are shown on the attached Exhibit 2. Debtor shall not, without at least 30 days prior written notice to the Secured Party, relocate such principal place of business or the Collateral, with no relocation being permitted outside the United States in any event.
6.7 Further Information and Notices . Debtor shall promptly supply the Secured Party with such information concerning Debtors business as the Secured Party may reasonably request from time-to-time hereafter, and shall within three business days of obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the Secured Party of any substantial change in the Collateral or any material adverse change in the Collateral or Debtors financial condition or any event which constitutes an Event of Default. Debtor shall notify the Secured Party promptly after becoming aware of the occurrence of any default under the Existing Residual Contracts, the Existing Residuals Security Documents, the Future Residual Contracts, the Future Residuals Security Documents or the ISO Agreements. To the extent that a right to cure any such default shall be available and shall not have expired, the Secured Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effect such cure on Debtors behalf. All amounts expended by the Secured Party in effecting any such cure shall constitute Secured Party Expenses.
6.8 Solvency . Debtor is now and shall be at all times hereafter able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.
6.9 Secured Party Expenses . Debtor shall within ten days of written demand from the Secured Party accompanied by adequate documentation of such expenses, reimburse the Secured Party for all sums expended by the Secured Party which constitute Secured Party Expenses and, in the event that Debtor does not pay any Secured Party Expenses payable to a third party within ten days after notice thereof, then the Secured Party may immediately and without further notice pay such Secured Party Expenses on Debtors behalf. All such expenses shall become a part of the Obligations and, at the Secured Partys option, will (i) be payable on demand, (ii) be added to the balance of a Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during the remaining term of that Note, or (iii) be added to the balance of a Note and treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at that Notes maturity. This Agreement shall secure payment of the Secured Party Expenses and, in the event Borrower fails to pay any Secured Party Expenses after demand as described above, Debtor shall also pay to the Secured Party interest thereon at the default Rate (as provided in a Note).
6.10 Reliance by the Secured Party; Representations Cumulative . Each representation, warranty and agreement contained in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been relied on by the Secured Party regardless of any investigation made or information possessed by the Secured Party.

6.11 Permitted Actions with Respect to the Collateral .
